Do you ever let your friends borrow your bike? It seems like every time I go for a ride with some buddies, at least one of my bikes would be a loaner. I really don’t have a problem with that at all. It’s a great opportunity for me to share my experiences I’ve had with the bikes I’ve been fortunate enough to review. But what I do feel uneasy about is when they borrow a bike and not return it for days at a time. I don’t know if they would take care of it as much as I would. I always wonder if they would leave it out in the rain, did he lock it, or is it broken and he didn’t want me to know about it. I know that I could easily go over to the guy’s house and get the bike back. But it’s the principle of him borrowing it from my house. If he took the bike from my house, he should have the courtesy of bringing it back. Don’t you think? Or am I just making a big deal out of nothing? If you happen to be the guy who borrowed my bike and are reading this” you know the deal!
